Mmmm. This is traditional dish in Slovakia too. Mushrooms and zucchini are optional, but good. We like it just with bread. Many people prepare the onion-pepper-tomato mixture in larger amounts in summer and can it for later use. Good ripe tomatoes with strong taste are the key. For me, it`s a comfort food.

I cut this recipe in thirds, I used two green peppers, 1/2 cup onions, 2 small zucchini, 1/2 cup diced mushrooms, 1 large tomato and two eggs, salt and pepper and margarine. We just had homemade biscuits and mandarin oranges for dessert. Very good! My husband can eat this dish! I sprinkled a little Italian Seasoning before the liquid reduced. Thanks!
